    I walked in and it was the first hotwheel I saw. The wife couldn't figure out why I was so happy.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!

    I never did get them, only excuses. The seller never responded to my messages until after eBay gave me my money back.



    He tells me to check the tracking and I do but it shows the same thing they were never shipped. I ship stuff all the time and ALL my tracking numbers update daily. But somehow the ones he gave me magically don't.

    And then this description on his store just sounds weird:
    http://myworld.ebay.com/islandtraderakathedude/?_trksid=p4340.l2559

    And I checked his feedback and two people who bought items a whole week after I did already got their packages but somehow i didn't. :huh:

    If it wasn't for bad luck i would have no luck:



    I'm guessing he didn't put enough postage, so looks like I wont get them at all now!

    At least I got my money back.

    and my buddie decided to send me this picture today, just to rub it in my face that he found one out in Los angeles :D

    Alex, it looks like the guy shipped them to the wrong address.

    Return to Sender Your item was returned to the sender on April 24, 2012 because it could not be delivered as addressed.

    Probably, he had a ton of shipping issues with everyone. I've seen it happen before when someone sent me something with the wrong postage, it said the same thing on the tracking number.

    Then when i finally got it it had an extra label on it with extra postage.

    According to the number it was shipped via USPS first class, which has a 13oz limit.

    Each car is 1.5oz so that's 15oz in just cars not including the weight of the box.


    I've seen it happen a bunch of times though, people try and rip off USPS.
    Like once I got a lot sale of headphones and they were shipped saying that the box weighed 10oz and it was actually 2lbs on my scale!

    And the seller only paid $3.50, when it should have been more like $10.


    awesome :thumbs2:

    Whoo!

    Finally! After 4 months of searching
    30+ stores in 3 different counties
    and a big eBay screw up

    I finally found some at Target :bananaman

    Yesterday I got discouraged big time when I went to a K mart that had a TON of hot wheels but not one single maverick. They had a lot of 9/10 but most were 12' cougars or 11' Camaros, then I went next door to a stater brothers and again they had a ton of hot wheels but not a single Maverick.

    So today I went to target since I needed to buy some stuff for lunch anyways, head to the toy section and sitting right in front was a HW racing mav:yahoo:

    Then I look through the rest and find 5 more! (on sale for 89 cents each!)
    4 were singles so I picked those up and the other was in a 20 pack but I left that one behind.


    This one has been SO hard to find I don't care that I didn't find a super treasure hunt one I'm just excited that I found some!

    One of them has a paint chip on the roof so I'm going to open that one and paint the roof white and add rubber wheels. Sorta like a clone :)

    Man you guys are so technical! But so am I so I deserve it :biglaugh:
    To be honest I don't care too much for the STH one.
    It was already a nightmare trying to find the regular one, so I'm not going to go out of my way to find the TH version.

    If I find one in a store cool, if I don't I don't.
    But I'm certainly not going to pay $30+ for one, I'd only spend that much on a mighty mav.

    I'll just clone the STH one, I have several rubber wheel HWs that can be used as parts cars :D
